Sad Old Town

Lyrics
Billy took himself a little midnight stroll When he stumbled ‘cross a woman Sleeping in the cold He'd heard it on some channel things were on the rise So forgive him when he says it took him by surprise Hey Billy! Lost in this sad old town The shadow of decision Hit him hard and cold And a long trail of excuses That began to take hold A mirror pressed to his face Still he turned he an eye Kept his head hung down real low And just walked on by Hey Billy! Lost in this sad old town If there's still a little fight left in the dog And that feeling in your heart don't sit right Ring the bell and keep the beating of the drum In this sad old town tonight He's got himself a kid and a sweet young wife But there's an itch inside which keeps him looking out for strife Grappling with that rope tightening ‘round his neck And a paper on the fire to keep his habits in check Hey Billy! Tell us what's going on? If there's still a little fight left in the dog And that feeling in your heart don't sit right Ring the bell and keep the beating of the drum In this sad old town tonight Hey Billy what do you say? Hey Billy, how much more can you take? Will you bend? Will you break? I don't know Lost in this sad old town Hey Billy, how much more can you take? Will you bend? Will you break? I don't know Lost in this sad old town If there's still a little fight left in the dog And that feeling in your heart don't sit right Ring the bell and keep the beating of the drum In this sad old town tonight Billy took himself a little midnight stroll
